I havent seen the hindu and muslim pani issue in the south in cities and towns in my lifetime. It was probably there 60-40 years ago. In the villages, it may still be there. I used to do a little social work in college. In villages, I have seen hindus who are in majority discriminate against muslims, hindus against minority dalits, muslim majority village against hindus, muslims against dalits and even dalit majority villages intimidating other caste people. Discrimination is not consigned to any one community. Unfortunately, across religious and caste barriers,everybody seems to be eager to indulge in it given a chance. What we need is iron clad secular laws that makes sure every one is treated decently and equally irrespective of what their religious, cultural and community may say. This is the 21st century for Gods sake.

An honest post. Spoken like a True Progressive. You make the best case for a secular govt ( with iron clad secular laws).
